My life is different since I moved back to L.A. from New York, mostly because I have a family and I don't go out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I moved to New York first and was really apprehensive about moving to L.A., but I really, really like it.
I moved to L.A. right after I finished high school, for three years, because everybody was telling me it was important to get down there, and then I kind of just decided for myself that I didn't need to be there to be doing this. I wanted out of some of the chaos that comes with living here and being an actor.
When I first moved here, I almost felt like I was obligated to hate L.A. as a New Yorker. I moved way too fast for this city. I walked everywhere, and I was lonely, too. It was a really hard time not knowing anybody, and you don't run into people the way you do in New York. You can go a week without seeing anyone.
Never lived in L.A. I've always done the New York thing.
I kept saying that I'd never live in L.A., and I didn't think I would. But that's where the work is, and I ended up making a lot of friends there, and my old friends moved out to Los Angeles too. And also, I think when you're famous, its hard to live in a small town.
I always wanted to get out of L.A., but time passes, and you find excuses to stay.
I have sort of a life in Los Angeles.
Does anybody actually go out in L.A.? When I lived there, I'd just stay in my apartment.
In L.A., I'm always going to dinner and hanging out. In New York, it's like my life just feels crazier, and there's more options.
Any time I can come to L.A., because I live in New York... when I go to L.A., it really is about the people, having reunions and seeing my friends I don't see enough.
